ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This research was developed as part of the CYRILLA1
project that seeks to provide comprehensive resources
on global digital rights laws.
This research has been carried out by Indriaswati D.
Saptaningrum and Parasurama Pamungkas.
Several experts from Southeast Asia provided us with
their valuable time and inputs in helping identify and
analyse the cases. We thank them for their work and
support. This included organisations such as iLaw
(Thailand), Foundation for Media Alternatives
(Philippines), Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism
and Human Rights (Malaysia), Lembaga Bantuan
Hukum Jakarta (Indonesia) and Access Now, whose
insights and resources were greatly helpful for
understanding developments and the ecosystems in
their countries and the region more broadly.
Our work relies extensively on information relating
to case laws on digital rights already available on the
CYRILLA database on Global Digital Rights Law, as well
as Columbia University’s Global Freedom of Expression
database.
We are also thankful to Emerson John Lozanta who
developed the art design and cover for the report.
